Managing Director at VarniTech Solution Pvt. Ltd.
It simplifies managing large volumes of data and the support is prompt
I rate Hitachi Data Instance Director 10 out of 10. I would recommend it depending on your requirements. If you have a larger and more complex operation, data availability and retention will give you a headache HDID is what you need. Enterprises with a large data volume and high business complexity, should absolutely go for HDID to get some peace of mind.

Release Train Engineer at Flash Ai
Automated data masking and provisioning has improved compliance and accelerated secure testing workflows across cloud environments
Some of the best features of Perforce Delphix include its automation of sensitive data discovery and masking with referential integrity for Aurora and RDS, as well as support for diverse data sources including Oracle, SQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Additionally, its GUI workflows simplify the creation and scheduling of masking jobs and enhance data governance in cloud hybrid and on-premises environments. Perforce Delphix can deliver up to 25 terabytes of data in just minutes, making it approximately 100 times faster for development and testing needs. Perforce Delphix has positively impacted my organization by saving us 70 to 80% of the time, which has enabled us to complete data sprints earlier, and it has also helped reduce costs. The time to complete one story point has decreased from 10 hours to around 4 or 5 hours, leading to substantial cost savings. Furthermore, it's effective in managing scaled agile enterprise data management, as we orchestrate and govern masking jobs across multiple teams and agile release trains to ensure data privacy standards are maintained.

Pros

"Enterprises with a large data volume and high business complexity should absolutely go for HDID to get some peace of mind."
"We are a bit restless. When we need things, we need them yesterday. Hitachi was the only company who responded quickly with the POC, proposals and technical discussions. When we have asked other vendors to provide a technical solution, they were a bit late, and we were in hurry."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"Perforce Delphix itself has helped us enable data masking in a very seamless and efficient manner."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"This solution has provided us the ability to apply Agile Methodology for developers, as each developer has their own virtual database from the parent DB, allowing for concurrent development."
"Delphix support is second to none."
 

Cons

"The integration with VMware vRealize Orchestrator isn't smooth. It works, but we still need to go back and forth on certain technical aspects."
"Delphix isn't very scalable."
"Sometimes the complexity of virtualization needs much more documentation, which is what I think could be improved with Perforce Delphix."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"Perforce Delphix has been of great use when it comes to SQL Server, but it should improve mainly when it comes to SAP HANA and Salesforce as I have not seen Perforce Delphix progress much in those areas."
"They have masking engine which has many things that need to be improved."
"In terms of improvements for Perforce Delphix, I believe the pricing page should provide more flexibility, as it was costlier before, though I am uncertain about the current pricing structure."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms."
